Here is another showing an American attack on installations on Balik Papen by 150 Liberators, Mitchells and P-38’s from the 13th US Army Air Force. Balik Papen was a great oil refinery centre on the South East coast of Borneo. The assault was the heaviest up to mid-June 1945.

Japanese planes and ships had for three years been supplied 3 million barrels of oil annually.

For fear of the the ‘Steve Bond effect’ – no expression therefore no interest, may I say thanks for posting and sharing a fascinating and emotive image.

Any more like this?

I can understand the frustration caused by the “Steve Bond effect”, especially when someone ask’s you to post pictures! :confused: Then after you have searched high ‘n low for the photographs, scanned them and posted them, then your posting is ignored 😡 :confused: 😡

Anyway, since you have asked 😉 I have quite a few. Here is one which is of the damaged centre of Hiroshima. If I remember correctly it was taken a year after the atomic bomb was dropped.

where’s my time-machine ?

thanks for sharing !
